The boys are back! Christian Tramitz, Rick Kavanian and Bully Herbig, who brought us one of our favorite German comedy shows the Bullyparade from 1997 to 2002, let hearts of fans jump high reviving their old roles and characters in an episode movie. Bullyparade: The Movie shows exactly the most beloved main scetch sceneries, including Sissi, empress of Austria and her devoted husband, the Kasirske brothers reminiscing of good old DDR times, the Winnetou persiflage, Lutz and Löffler and of course the emotional aroused crew around Mr. Spuck. Bringing back these roles in five separate short stories, the team is able to setup gag after gag and include citations and side characters fans are longing so see.
If you have no clue what I am talking about, fair enough. Then my critique hits in correctly, as this movie is made especially for the fans. Taking the very best out of the iconic comedy show and sew it together loosely is entertaining and keeps a smile on audience faces seeing how much fun the trio had in creating this movie. Even if the script lacks of a real core sometimes and seems to be written in a short period of time, the focus obviously lay in putting up clever jokes. You may look out for your personal favorite ones, as a lot of jokes happen in the background or are hidden in written form. These details make it worth a watch alone. Example giving, one of my personal big laughs was one no other in the cinema understood as it needed some historical background knowledge concerning the Bavarian king. You will get what I mean.
Is Bullyparade: The Movie a good movie? No. Is it fun to watch, absolutely, and this is the only thing that counts in the perspective of the purpose of the Bullyparade in general. I forgive that jokes are not igniting temporarily as intended and oversee the forced try to connect the sketch episodes to each other, but I personally love the Bullyparade style and always will.
Note: Please consider this critique only for German speaking countries, as this movie cannot and should not be translated, as comedy is based on German characters and word jokes.
